Help me choose a video card

Anybody know of any good video cards that can run on 375 watts or less? I've searched but haven't found any better than the one I have.

 

what are you planning on using the card for?

 

Gaming. Left 4 dead, Crysis, Halo 2, Flight Sim X, Dirt 2. Somewhat demanding games. My current card is a geforce 9500 gs. It runs the games, but I have to knock the resolution down to 1024*1080 and sometimes the detail, depending on which game I'm playing to get 50 fps

 

Thanks. I'll look into it.

 

Well what i've found is that your CPU can be a bottleneck as well! So you might want to look into that.

I'm happy with my 8800GTS, but i hate my Pentium D 820.

I'd say get a GeForce 9800 GX2/GTX/GT (meh)...Or go for a card with the GTX 260+ Serries.

All of these will require more than a 375W power supply. Don't forget to check your 12V rails too.

 

Pick up one of these...

A new power supply is easy to put in and then you can upgrade you video card to one that play any game.
